Some of those hosts haven't NUT including upsmon (and other software which is not included by suppliers of the hosts) for a number of reasons. I don't need to inform not-NUT hosts about any UPS events, etc... but only shutdown all the hosts after upssched timer expired. So I think shutdown them via ssh would be enough and creating some replacement for upsmon is too much.
